Feel screwed despite good hardware!
The package with 4 Arlo Ultra is advertised as 4K cameras including 1-year subscription. The cameras allow live 4K streaming, but only Full HD clips end up on the cloud. My research shows that the included subscription ("Premier") is not good for 4K. If you want to save in 4K, you have to buy an "Elite" subscription (15.-/Mt).
So I bought 4K cameras that only record 2K.
I consider this a fraudulent label and close to fraud.
NOTE: In the cloud as described only HD recordings are stored. But it is possible to record 4K in parallel on the memory card and access it from the local network.
This is ok for me and I raise the rating from *** to ****.Pro
- easy to install
- night recording with IR or LED
- Battery powered
- Waterproof
- iPhone App
- Access via internet
- Local storage possibility
Contra
- no 4K recordings in cloud
- own WLAN weak
- reacts too slowly

NOT a network camera
That the Arlo makes its own network is amazing. Really stupid but that it is so weak. Even a second base station comes 4 meters (!) next to the sliding window not through the glass on the camera. As soon as the sliding door is opened it works... but the FritzBox WLAN comes through the glass without any problems! So it's the Arlo WLAN signal. I sell this crap. Who wants to report to me, otherwise it will be disposed of.
Contra
- Arlo makes own weak network
- Arlo network does not come through window pane
- Outdoor camera will not pair
- App cumbersome

Wouldn't buy again with these fixed costs, considering the price of the cameras.
Cameras work on the whole. Geofencing is an absolute disaster, doesn't work 8 times out of 10. And with the new price plan from Arlo, we pay over 200.- / year for 9 cameras. For me, a rip-off....
Pro
- Resolution
- Replaceable battery
- Quality
Contra
- Geofencing
- Price plan
- Reach

Good camera that does the job perfectly.
Very good camera with excellent wide angle and very good resolution, plua other features. A big step ahead for Arlo cameras. The battery does not last that long anymore. After one week of use it is already at 50%.
Pro
- Good 4K resolution
- 130 degrees wide angle
Contra
- Battery discharges faster than usual

Good in principle... But:
Pro
- When Hub is near good picture!
- Runs relatively long on battery
- Easy installation
Contra
- Range of radio transmission hub - camera extremely limited!
- In fact unsuitable for outdoor use - see above point!
